I write a patch to support UTF-8 locale well. I think it maybe help
for some FreeBSD user.
follow link is the patch (base on FreeBSD 7.1):

the full tar.bz2 package:

I also will patch for ntfs driver

The Chinese characters in the fat32 partition can be displayed correctly now.

when mount windows partitions, you should do like this:
mount_ntfs -C UTF-8 /dev/ad?s? /path/to/mount
mount_msdosfs -L zh_CN.UTF-8 /dev/ad?s? /path/to/mount
